Putin was referring to Comey’s testimony to the U.S. Senate’s Intelligence Committee.

He stated this in a televised question and answer session with Russians.

Putin said that it was “very strange” for a former FBI chief to release details of his conversations with the U.S. president to the media.

He alleged that Washington had tried to influence Russian elections over the years.
